support for the change. The syllabus for the Designcourse was modified from previous semesters to require each team to provide weekly documentsthat tracked progress and proposed changes to the design specifications. In prior semesters,students in the Professionalism course had been required to reflect on several design experiences.For this study, the students were required to reflect specifically on the use of iterative loops aspart of the design process. The Seminar course was modified to provide a venue to discussfailure, iterative loops, and the design process.Propositions and Process for Linking Data to PurposeYin34 noted that exploratory studies could state a purpose and the criteria for judging theexploration successful instead of
